Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Kirkwood, IL.

Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
